Who defines popular?
The powerful structures or the people?
k-drama and J-drama is
popular because of the people. Without the viewers they will not succeed in
getting high ratings and without them, it will never be the talk of the town and it
will not be recommended by others so that they will watch it too.
For example; "Princess Hours" it is popular here in the Philippines. And due to its popular demand it is being aired again here in the Philippines and I still hear my classmates talk about it in class, and social networking sites which continuously creates the buzz. The Koreanovela fan base here in our country is quite massive, so we can expect unwavering support for our favorite actors and dramas.
And are popular products actually good or substandard?
They are actually good
because why would someone recommend something that is not worth watching, of
course we don’t want to waste time on the stories that don’t interest us. And
it is also good because k-drama and J-drama have an awesome story plots, from that
little conflict, they can create an awesome twist that excites the viewers to
watch.
like Okuribito, directed by Takita Yojiro, portrays the life of a mortician in rural Yamagata Prefecture. His various duties, such as cleaning, clothing, shaving, and applying makeup to corpses before enclosing them in their coffins, provide the subject matter for a moving and beautiful portrayal of traditional Japanese rituals associated with showing respect for the dead. Through their interactions with the families of the deceased, the film's protagonist and his wife are prompted to question the mysteries of life, death, and love. It has won the Grand Prix at the Montreal World Film Festival and has been selected as Japan's entry for Best Foreign Language Film in the next Academy Awards. The picture also won awards for best film and best director at China's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, and star Motoki Masahiro took the prize for best actor.

We can infer that more often than not, popular dramas are of good quality; directed by the best, has a good concept and it affects the viewers. We'd like to believe that there are still people who make good dramas and are not just in the industry to make money, but also to teach their viewers life lessons.
